HOT AND DRY.
Vegetation in Illinois and Wisconsin
Burning Up-No Rain for Several
Months.

CHICAGO, July 1.-No such drought as the
present has existed in Illinois and Wisconsin
for many years.
The roads are ankle deep with dust. The
pastures are brown and the leaves on forest
and shade trees are shrivelled up, and each
hot breath of air from the cloudless horizon
drives them away In showers. The creeks
have run dry and the water in the large
streams is at a lower stage than was ever
known before.
There has not beer a soaking rain in that
part of the country since March. Two show
ers in April. and one each in May and June,
had but temporary effect on the crops.
Stunted yellow spears, bending over i'm
mense beds of dust, afford the only evidence
that farmers sowed any corn this year. The
leaves Of forest trees are falling off. and
fruit which promised to be plenty is wrink-
led and dried to the stem Raspberry bushes
look as though they were producing a crop
of shot so small and hard are the berries.
The drought has become so terrible that
public prayers are being offered for rain.
The fences along the county roads and on
the dead walls of the villages are plastered
with huge bills calling for special services at
the district school houses and churches.
Fires are burning in the woods and pastures
for miles around are scOrched. The farmers
have lost many cattle in these fires, which
seem to have sprang up in dozen places at
once.
Reports from all parts of McHenry and
adjoining counties in Illinois, tell of intense
suffering from the drought. Drinking water
in some towns has been polluted and the
beds of creeks are covered with deeaying
fish.
The drought in the northern and central
counties of Illinois Is not more serious than
il is in Wisconsin. The badger State is lit
orally burned up, and the crops are nearly
all destroyed.
Reports from northwestern Iowa state that
the drought there has been broken.

SALT LAKE CITY, July 1.-The Utah con-
stitutional convention met in the legislative
chamber of City Hall yesterday. On the
permanent organization, Hon. j. S. Caine,
delegate to Congress, was chosen president
of the convention. He made a brief but
forcible speech, outlining the work to be
done.-He- said the convention was author
lied by the people. who are the sources of all
political power. They have constitutional
right to assemble and petition for statehood,
which will be the defining of Utahs rapid
march to industrial and political greatness.
The Constitution must be broad and liberal,
not sectional, ,and secure the rights of the mi
nority. The previous obstacle to the admis-
sion Of Utah must be faced frankly and with
view to meeting the charge that Utah is
not in harmony with the rest of the nation.
He expressed the conviction that Utah
would yet shine with the brightest stars of
the flag as a.free and loyal State.
The organization was perfected, and q full
set of officers elected, and the convention ad-
journed till Friday. pending the appointment
of standing committees. Interest in the
movement is general and intense. Every
body feels that great Importance attaches to
this new effort for statehood. An earnest
endeavor is being made by conservative
Mormons to gain the corporations of all
classes and parties in the proceedings.
